5.0 out of 5 stars The Killer, May 6, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Hunting the Hunter (On the Run, Book 6) (Paperback)

It all began when Aiden and Meg's parents were sent to jail for something they say they didn't do. Aiden and Meg are fugitives trying to prove there parents innocent, but they have a killer on there tail. This is a very action packed story because Aiden and Meg encounter the killer five or six times. When Aiden is about to risk his life for his family Meg does something very brave to save him but will it work? You'll have to read this book to find out. Hunting the Hunter is not appropriate for everyone. There is a lot of violence in the book because Aiden and Meg are getting chased by a professional assassinator. Also, Aiden and Meg steal a lot of things. I would recommend this book to people ten and up. I loved this book because I like action Packed stories with close encounters and exciting pages. If you like those kind of stories you should read this book.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Hunting the Hunter (On the Run, Book 6) (Paperback)

i read the first book at my school and just had to read them all. the series has everything, from high speed chases in a corvette to nearly deadly meetings with bald assasin. You'll sit down to read the first couple chapters but instead you will get hooked and read the whole book. first there parents have a friend who tells them he works for the FBI .he tells them that they are helping the fbi but the info they create falls into the hands of terrorists. the parents are put in jail for life now their kids are breaking the law, running from the FBI,wanted by every cop in the country, and to make things worse an assasin is after them, all to prove their parents inesent.this book is full of suspense, action, and adventure. SO JUST READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars amanda from creston thinks this book ROCKS!, March 28, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Hunting the Hunter (On the Run, Book 6) (Paperback)

Hunting the Hunter, written by Gordon Korman is an interesting book. I did not want to put it down because it's filled with exciting adventures. My favorite part was when Bernard, the guard pig, pounces on Aiden and his little sister, Meg, has to pull the pig off him. Korman used words that helped me visualize this scene. That is one reason Korman was able to hold my attention. He used words that helped me make the pictures in my head. Korman almost always had them doing something exciting. The other reason is just the book. Aiden and Meg trying to save their family. I would recommend this book to all my friends. They may not like this book the way I do but I would tell all my friends to read Hunting the Hunter.
